Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Mass of n molecules of `H_(2)O` in hexagonal packing
`=((18g " mol"^(-1))xxn)/((6.02xx10^(23) " mol"^(-1)))`
Density `(rho)=("Mass")/("Volume")`
`(0.92 g "cm"^(-3))=((18g"mol"^(-1))xxn)/((6.02xx10^(23)"mol^(-1))xx(132xx10^(-24)cm^(3)))`
`n=((0.92 g"cm"^(-3))xx(6.02xx10^(23)"mol"^(-1))xx(132xx10^(-24)"cm"^(3)))/((18 g "mol"^(-1)))=4`
